Use this option if something goes wrong, e.g. the program fails to scan the selected partition, or some files cannot be decrypted, etc. Specify the file name to save debug information to, and choose one of the following options from the combo box:
•Disabled
•Overwrite existing file
•Overwrite existing file (Debug)
•Append to existing file
•Append to existing file (Debug)
Our technical support may ask you to send the log file. The debug log is much more detailed, but can be large (up to a few megabytes).
You can force the debug mode by using the -debug_log command-line switch and running the program as:
aefsdr.exe -debug_log
In that case, aefsdr.log will be created in the root folder of disk C: That could be useful to identify severe issues such as the program not starting at all.
You can also set the maximum size of log file (in megabytes). When the limit is reached, the program will stop logging. Set this option to zero for unlimited.
You can switch between High, Normal, and Low. The recommended setting is Normal, but if you want to run the program as a background process that will only consume idle CPU cycles, you can select Low. If you want to increase AEFSDR performance, select High, but be aware that this will decrease the performance of all other applications running on your computer.
If this option is enabled, AEFSDR will attempt to decrypt the master keys using the top 100 commonly used passwords. Note that this may slow down the initial decryption on newer systems (Windows Vista and newer).
If enabled (default), the program always starts in Wizard mode. To start the program in Expert mode, deselect this option.
When this option is enabled, the program will also scan for encrypted files that have been deleted.
